A video of the "L0 series" superconducting linear train, which is currently undergoing test runs in preparation for the opening of the Linear Central Shinkansen, is attracting a lot of attention.
The video was posted on October 10, and JR Tokai fully cooperated in the filming. In the video, Hajime Shacho visits the Yamanashi Linear Test Line, experiences a test run of the L0 series at 500 km/h, and tries to see if he can identify the letters on a board on the side of the track from inside a moving car. The number of views has already exceeded 1 million as of the day after the release of the video, and as of October 25, the number is close to 2.5 million.
In the video, Hajime Shacho, who frequently travels back and forth between Shizuoka and Tokyo, says, "JR Tokai, I am always indebted to you on the Shinkansen. The fact that JR Tokai, which has an image of a "rigid company," cooperated in the filming of a YouTube video was met with surprise in the comments section of the video and on social networks.
When we asked the company how this came about, they told us that they were considering ways to disseminate information about the superconducting linear rail system, and "Hajime Shacho-san's interest in the project led to discussions," according to a company spokesperson. Of course, this is the first time a YouTube star has chartered a superconducting linear train. The spokesperson commented, "This is an innovative and interesting way to tell the story, and we hope everyone will watch it.
